One technology that can monitor water pipelines accurately, for both leak detection and disturbances related to attempted theft, is distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). This photonic sensing technology essentially turns a fiber optic cable running alongside a water pipeline network into thousands of vibration sensors, able to detect any disturbances along the length of the pipeline….DAS effectively provides an invisible smart barrier along the entire length of a pipeline, which can accurately detect and alarm leaks of different sizes, while providing their position along and around the water pipeline. DAS can detect vibrations caused by water being forced through a pipeline rupture, or by ground displacement associated with small leaks in pipelines that would otherwise remain undetected
